Combined, the 54 ActiveE drivers who are participating in the East Vs West mileage competition have travelled an impressive 219,488 miles, saving an estimated 10,451 gallons of gasoline.

But while the U.S. west coast has the larger number of ActiveE drivers, it’s the east coast that wins when it comes to the total number of electric miles driven, beating the west coast’s 108,144 miles by 3,200 extra miles.

We’d love to say that’s because those on the east coast love electric cars more than those on the west, but we suspect the extra mileage is down to one person: Tom Moloughney.

Only available on lease, the BMW ActiveE has already shown itself to be a competent electric car that gives a tantalizing preview of what BMW has in store for us with its i3 all-electric city car and i8 plug-in hybrid sports car, both of which are due to launch in the next twelve months.
